Samplergal When is it held. We have to schedule our travel for the next year and am trying to get to a few book festivals. We will likely be in the Portland area for at least three weeks and would love to coincide with a bookish treat. 5y
That-Bookish-Hiker @Samplergal that sounds like great vacation! Well this usually happens in the fall in November. This year it is on November 9th. They try to keep it around the same date too. 5y
Samplergal @That-Bookish-Hiker thank you. That may just work for 2020. My daughter used to live in Portland and we plan to be in the area sometime in the fall. I may just schedule us in November! Thanks. I‘ll get on their website and sign up for info. ❤️ 5y
pythoness Somehow I only just now saw this, but both me and my partners are planning to go! 4y
That-Bookish-Hiker @pythoness yay! I‘m glad some other littens will be there! I‘m super excited. Who are you excited to see? 4y

Great book event in Portland today! In addition to a pop up poetry reading by Wendy Chen and the book sale, I attended ‘This is America: Race and Family‘ with authors Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Nicole Chung and Luis Alberto Urrea as well as ‘Dangerous Places: Women and Power‘ with Lauren Groff and Rachel Kushner. All were fantastic. (I started reading ‘Florida‘ while in line —I‘m excited to read more tonight!) #PortlandBookFestival #pdxbookfest

This was formally known as Wordstock but they changed the name.

They just announced the authors who will be attending and I‘m so excited to go again this year. Nova Ren Suma will be there along with Tom Hank!

Anyone else in the Portland or Seattle area planning km attending?
